Planetary Gears: Service and Repair
Overdrive Planetary Gears - Disassembly and Assembly
1. Before installing a planetary assembly, the shaft retaining pins should be checked for adequate staking. Use a new planetary assembly if either of
the following conditions exist. Check the pins and shafts in the planetary assemblies for loose fit and/or complete disengagement.
CAUTION: Planetary must be replaced. Do not restake them.
NOTE: Individual parts of the planetary carriers are not serviceable.
2. Inspect the pinion gears for damaged or excessively worn teeth, and for free rotation.
3. Inspect the overdrive one-way clutch inner race for scoring.
4. Inspect the inner and outer races for scored or damaged surface areas where the rollers contact the races.
